Here she comes now

Totally in LOVE with this dress from Alice McCall 1st SS11 Cat of the Duchess collection.

Sometimes you just fall for a dress on first sighting, sometimes it's an after thought that makes you need to wander back past the very window you saw it in & try it on. This dress had that very effect (except of course substitute the shop window for adding to our favourites list so we could browse past it at any time of the day)..

Pre-ordering opened on Wednesday so jump on & have a look at the whole collection, promise you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face.

Versace for H&M

Source: HF

Another fabulous designer collaboration for the Swedish high street brand H&M choosing to release a collection this November with fashion powerhouse Versace. The collection promises to reflect the 'iconic Versace' together with the great prices that we know and love from H&M. If only we Australians could get our hands on it without having to spend thousands of dollars and travelling for days. *Sigh. We never stop wishing that one day it will decide to hit our shores, where we will welcome it with open arms.

welcome to the good life

Oh the things we would do to be on that boat. Ohhh mmyyyy GOODNESS... sun, sea, sand, sailing, salt, smoking, swimming. It is these kinds of images of Daria Werbowy sailing around Corsica with her family that help us to get through this cold, windy winter. Each photograph is a glimmer of hope that these days will pass fast. As much as we love the winter fashions, fur, chunky scarves, boots, how can you not want this. 

For those of you lucky enough to live, or be travelling to the Northern Hemisphere this summer, we have one feeling towards all of you... jealousy! But enjoy the hell out of your summer days.

Apologies for the image overload, but they were just too good not to show you!

NEW ARRIVALS from A.WANG

  

We are currently loving this new Alexander Wang hobo bag, Robyn. 

What could be better than this effortlessly cool butterscotch bucket bag & for a mere $985.00 you could be taking this baby home to meet the rest of the family. Looks like piggy bank savings start today..

Loafing

A.P.C

Loafers are the best alternative to the ballet flat. Add one of these statement loafers to you wardrobe at any time of the year for a classically stylish look. Loving Olivia Palermo's take on the statement loafer with a little pair of shorts and tanned pins. Pair skinny jeans, a well-fitting blazer and a chunky scarf for those colder months and you'll be ready and roaring to go.

Theyskens' Theory Resort 2012 killed it this season with some awe inspiring looks of wearable layering at its finest. What made us look twice though was those neon trimmed handbags!!! They are the redesign of the current Theory messenger bags and are now the current number one on our Christmas wish list.. Hint. Hint.

Chanel LOVE

Want. Need. Love this dress!

ACNE

Lets step back and take a minute to praise the inspirational work of Swedish brand ACNE. The Resort 2012 Collection was shown over the weekend in NYC and to quote Acne founder Jonny Johansson, the collection draws inspiration from "a downtown, young jeans girl... who is colliding with romantic, historic fashion and creating a trapped volume".

The layering and colour palate is inspirational to say the least. We cannot wait to see how the layered pants and skirts translate to street fashion...

These are our picks from the 2012 collection.

Love Always,

Obsessed? ahhh.. YES

Okay, so, if you think that Aussie hottie, Bambi Northwood-Blyth has featured in about 99.99% of our posts since we started up in January, you're not dreaming... she has. We cannot get enough of her and with this shoot from Muse Magazine, she proves to us yet again why we are truly so obsessed. These shots by Tim Barber are flawlessly composed which doesn't help our fascination in the slightest. She looks phenomenal.

Out of your cars, onto your bike. Fun, healthy, environmentally friendly AND you can look good doing it. Yes please. Dust the cobwebs off your bike and get pedalling. Take a leaf from Olivia's book. She looks bangin'.

Shona Joy jumpsuit, $280 AUD.

The all in one is back with a vengeance this season. Whether it be a Peter Alexander onsie with a conveniently placed butt flap or a Zimmermann lace playsuit, we can't seem to part with our current jumpsuit love affair.


 Just slip on this season's power piece and go! It's the perfect solution to those lazy days where fashion combinations seem harder than that yearly trip to the dentist.

Loving all these accordion pleats that keep popping up all over our radar. The billowing silhouettes that these pleats create are so flattering and feminine this season,

even, or should we say especially, when there's a bit of a breeze.

HERMÈS: toujours chic

Its no wonder that Hermès goods are one of the most sought after luxury products by women and men around the world. With their rare materials, precious metals and each piece hand-stitched, Hermès is the epitome of class. One bag, made of leathers from crocodile, alligator, buffalo, shark, lizard and ostrich, can take up to 24 hours of hand crafted work to finish. 


Ah-mazing. Ah-mazing. Ah-mazing. 


We want one of each type of bag, scarf, belt, watch, perfume, cuff... and if we had a horse, we'd want one of their custom made saddles for it too! But that's just being greedy, right? Maybe just a Birkin ..... or a wrap watch...
